    Furthernuclear contract announced

    Horizon Nuclear Power today said it had agreed a strategic framework contract with Jacobs

    Engineering Group for the provision of engineering and related technical services.

    Horizon Nuclear Power is developing nuclear power stations at Wylfa on Anglesey and Oldbury in

    South Gloucestershire. The projects are expected to represent multibillion pound investments in the

    countrys power infrastructure.

    The agreement follows the award of three other strategic contracts earlier this month with AMEC,

    Atkins and Cavendish Nuclear.

    This completes the selection of strategic framework partners. The four successful lead suppliers and

    their supply chains will work with Horizon for the next three years on consultancy and technical design

    activities for Horizons lead site, Wylfa Newydd, and to support the development of expertise within

    Horizon itself.

    All four partner companies were selected following a competitive procurement process on the strength

    of their broad range of expertise, value for money criteria and alignment with Horizons company

    values. These contracts establish long term partnership arrangements with Tier 1 suppliers, and their

    supply chains. Their work will be crucial in helping Horizon continue its planning and preparation formain construction from 2018.

    Horizon Chief Operating Officer, Alan Raymant, said: We are delighted to welcome Jacobs as our

    fourth and final framework partner. We look forward to working with our new strategic suppliers and

    their supply chains, as we gather momentum and continue to progress our detailed plans ahead of our

    first formal public consultation next year.

    Jacobs Group Vice President Conor Doyle stated, We are pleased tosupport Horizons vision for a

    new generation of nuclear power stations that achieve a sustainable socio-economic legacy. We look

    forward to continuing to build on the strong foundations already in place.
